Nothing can impact a family faster and in a more devastating way than when the father or mother has been hurt on the job — severely — and is unable to work. Many jobs are dangerous, and work injuries on the job can be very serious and life altering. Indiana and Illinois see all too many good people permanently damaged from their work in construction, or on the waterways, or in the factories of our area. While there are state and federal laws, rules and regulations to make job sites safer, all too often they fail to stop a tragic accident or death.

Your Rights Concerning Workplace Injuries

Work-related injuries often result from accidents including slips and falls. A workplace injury does not necessarily have to have stemmed from an accident to qualify for worker’s compensation, however. The act of positioning a machine or even walking up or down a flight of stairs can cause muscle strains, stress fractures and other injuries that can keep you out of work. Even toiling at administrative jobs can lead to workplace injuries such as eyestrain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and neck or back problems.

Your employer is required to carry worker’s compensation insurance, and you are entitled to the benefits for any injury that occurs in your workplace during the course of your normal work tasks. This insurance covers your medical costs, as well as short-term disability for the time you are unable to work. If gross negligence or recklessness on the part of your employer or another employee factored into your injury, you may be entitled to additional damages as well.

Your Rights Concerning Workplace Injuries
If you’ve been injured in the workplace...

If you’ve been injured in the workplace, one of your first steps should be to report the incident to your employer, if at all possible, regardless of the degree of immediate pain. You may jeopardize your worker’s compensation eligibility, any other potential monetary awards, and even your job if you fail to report an injury immediately and in accordance with your employer’s regulations.

After getting any urgently needed medical attention, you then should contact a workplace injury lawyer who can help you begin to organize your case and ensure that you receive all potential damages to which you are entitled.

If a worker’s compensation claim is made, you or the attorney will have to fill out claim forms. Many states and employers have their own forms, which will ask for basics such as personal information and details about the injury. Keep a copy of the form, and turn the original in to your employer. A claims administrator should contact you shortly thereafter to notify you of the claim status.
